With a reenergized focus on innovative devices, interactive experiences, and enterprise health we are transforming the way consumers and businesses see health & fitness.

The role:

The Developer Productivity team is responsible for the build, testing, and deployment of Fitbit services from developer laptops to 1000s of servers. We aim to make it simple to reliably build and deploy reliable services. Everything we do towards that goal helps all the other engineers at Fitbit, so our efforts are a multiplier for everyone else’s efforts.

To do this, we’re building an integrated system for build, continuous integration, and deploy that allows teams to do all those things easily out of the box, while allowing them to be customized for individual use cases. To make that work, we provide a scalable, reliable infrastructure for the whole pipeline, along with clients to easily view and understand its status.

Finally, we support these tools and the teams’ use of them. That includes being on call for our infrastructure, responding to individual developer’s requests, meeting with teams to gather their needs, and evangelizing our work to have it be effectively used.

What You’ll Work On:

As a member of the Fitbit Developer Productivity team you get to play a few different roles:

Designer: We determine how the overall build process should work together among multiple teams

Developer: We build new systems to extend the build process, and improve existing ones to make it simpler, faster, and more reliable

Consultant: We meet with all the development teams at Fitbit to understand what they need to create features

Educator: We teach otherdevelopers what our tools can do and how to use them

Required Skills:

4+ years of experience as a software engineer

Experience with creating and maintaining builds

Server-side Java knowledge

Skills to diagnose failures somewhere in the path from a build to a deployment
